Norway Rat Extermination

Color can vary from gray to brown to black. It is heavy-bodied, six to eight inches long, with small eyes and ears and blunt nose. Its tail is shorter than its head and body and its fur is shaggy. Droppings can be identified by their capsule-like shape.

Norway rats nest in underground burrows, from which they enter buildings in search of food. They tend to remain in hiding during the day. This species is omnivorous, but prefers meats and cannot survive long without water.

Most rats are excellent climbers and are capable of gaining entry through holes around soffit vents and around cables entering the building, through holes in gable vent screens, and through turbine and box vents on roofs.
